HAPPY DIWALI!

SAD
This Diwali, he promised his daughter a new suit,
his son is waiting for the crackers he will bring,
his wife knows that the will buy the fridge on sunday
and mother is just happy for the diwali to come.

This diwali they have started cleaning early,
they have made space for the pooja in the north
and have bought the lamps and candles from the mall.

This diwali they are all so waiting for it come.
Chips have just upped the last year and
he is now with this new share firm,
the big and swanky office you see
with so many cars below.
He is the new helper there and
they are paying him well too.

This diwali his share firm lost big time.
You know in this thing called F&O,
the clients are not ready to pay they say
and boss it seems has nowhere to go.

This diwali they are closing down the office.
He has just come to know about it
and is still pretty shocked to hear the same.
This diwali it seems there are no bonuses
and therefore the new dress is not there too.
This diwali they might not fire crackers you see
because the electric bill is yet due.

Its not the diwali they are looking for
but its all the present that he can give.


HAPPY
Her first diwali in this new home
and isn't she the laxmi they are going to pray
In-laws waiting for her to dress up
and her husband is just too eager too see.
Guests and relatives arriving to greet the new bahu
and so many people they have to go and see.

She is in limelight again
and this has just been her year.
New home new parents and a new life,
she has embraced all of that
and has given away
her fears and worries
for the new faith in herself.
she is the new bahu in the house
she has become a woman now
she will pick up the threads that bind the house
and she will bind herself into them.

Her first diwali in her home
and isn't the world just celebrating that.

Pick your choice.

A very very happy diwali to the everyone. :-)
